    Johnson Creek Smoke Juice: New & Improved - Comment, anyone?

    I wandered over to comment on the JC sample pack I got last weekend (had never ordered from JC before), and am kinda surprised to see all these complaints, to say the least. Since it arrived just 2 days ago, I'd have to assume it's the newer recipes. Haven't tried all 10 yet, but I haven't...

    The author, Dr. Ranit Mishori, looks to be a regular go-to doc for media-driven health questions, and is married to John Donvan of ABC's Nightline. There's an office address out there for her, in case anyone wants to point out the other side of the argument via snail mail. I guess it could have...

    Do atomizers always die, bang, all at once?

    Jim, love your philosophy. Thanks. I don't even seem to have a great need for nicotine (funny how you can discover that when you separate the nicotine from the behavioral habit, which has tentacles), but you're right. Hell, if smoking had been this enjoyable I could never have quit, either from...

    For recipes only!!!!!!!

    Mounds Bar lovers worried about food coloring: Try mixing LorAnn's Coconut with Phil's chocolate liquid (e-smokey-treats.com). I hit that at least once a day. It's probably about 1/4 coconut flavoring to 3/4 chocolate liquid, and Phil's chocolates don't appear to have food coloring. You get...

    Boo! Oldsmar... you go to North Pinellas and turn east, and stop long before you get to the airport. :)

    Do atomizers always die, bang, all at once?

    Thanks. Suspicion confirmed, course of action determined. I've got a couple of weak-sistah attys here to subject to The Treatment. I've been starting to calculate how much I used to spend on tobacco, to see how often I could indulge in the luxury of new hardware without feeling guilty. There...

    Do atomizers always die, bang, all at once?

    Or can they end not with a bang, but a whimper? I always thought that when an atty died, it went all at once, no mo' vape. Can they just peter out until you're getting some vapor, but not enough? Do they stop producing as much heat? This would explain a lot of things, from not loving my 510...

    Fluval cartridge restuffing video instructions.

    Sorry, edited to delete; this isn't a restuffing problem, I shall post elsewhere. There's probably a way to delete this post but I don't know it.

    What causes hard draw/uneven performance? (901)

    Sing it, boogie-chillun! If smoking had been this good, I could NEVER have quit. Mmm, vapor snacks!

    What causes hard draw/uneven performance? (901)

    I watch the stuffing pretty carefully, and usually stop using a cart after 2 days and clean out the stuffing (I bought Fluval to re-stuff with too, haven't tried it yet). So it's not that. This has to be battery-related. If I don't draw hard on the 901 most of the time, the battery won't come...

    What causes hard draw/uneven performance? (901)

    I've heard references to "blowing through the LED end" before and never understood this. Then I just read a little below your post where someone wrote about popping the LED cover off and making airholes -- so, you pop the cover off the LED and blow into that end? (Man, it seems like I ask an...

    Ah! See, too much beauty just isn't all it's cracked up to be! I tell my mirror this more frequently with each passing year. It scoffs. Now your avatar has given me proof! Take that, mirror! NOW I know what the mysterious gee-gaw from Electronics Heaven will do. ZOMG. Life was simpler, if...

    What causes hard draw/uneven performance? (901)

    Cyberwolf, heh... I just got a Joye-510 tonight, with a passthru. The problem is that apparently the passthru normally comes with a weird battery that goes in the little black box, but mine didn't, so I haven't experienced it yet. At least, someone else 'splained that the missing battery is...

    Pass-thru 101? Help...

    Enlightenment! Yes, I shall contact my vendor forthwith. Bless you! So... you need to charge the passthrough for awhile before it'll work? Once I have obtained and charged the missing battery, can I just leave the passthrough plugged into my computer all the time and vape away? (In front of a...

    Pass-thru 101? Help...

    I just got a Joye-510 and a pass-thru to go with. The 510's truly a mother compared to my getting-iffy DSE901 gear (which feels like a gym membership for my cheeks in comparison). Manual batteries are definitely where it's at. Yet... this pass-thru. There's zero documentation with it; the...

    What causes hard draw/uneven performance? (901)

    Wow, thanks for all the replies. No, it's definitely not finger-over-the hole... I occasionally do that on purpose, but I normally hold the 901 by the battery and rarely touch the atty. After more observation I'm becoming convinced that it's not this atty but the batteries... as in, my two...

    What causes hard draw/uneven performance? (901)

    My first hardware, a 901. Been using the same atomizer for the month I've been at this, and rotating between 3 batteries, one recently bought as a spare, and one of which has gone all the way south -- I don't know if the new one went bad, or an older one just gave up. Lately I'm getting VERY...

    Newly registered members - Please read!

    I just looked at the webpage (never heard of the Bloog). Those cartridges are expensive, between $2.25/$2.50 apiece, and I doubt seriously you're gonna get anything NEAR the equivalent of 15-20 cigarettes per cart that they claim. (Everyone seems to claim this, and it's never true.) Even a...
